§ Sir L. Ropnerasked the Minister of Transport to what extent coloured cats' eyes have been tested as a means of warning the drivers of motor vehicles of the proximity of a crossing; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MarplesTests are going on. So far they have shown that coloured studs have a much reduced power of reflection. But there may be a limited use for red cats' eyes on the nearside edge of carriageways. At present we rely on a closer spacing of cats' eyes to give warning of the approach to a hazard.
